Brenda0928 145 Posted July 16, 2013 Question....i picked up some Unjury unflavor protein...any ideas on how to use this and amounts to use in my soft food to get more Protein in Breakfast ideas for sure...eggs?...need some ideas.... I mix mine into foods when I need some extra help in getting my protein.....I have added it to homemade milkshakes with milk-yogurt-and fruit, Soup, scrambled eggs, pudding, mashed potatoes.....the scoop is smaller than the chocolate and vanilla therefore it is only like 20g vs 30g of protein.....anyway, mix it in while the food is cold, cool, or room temperature.....it clumps together if added to hot foods directly, so mix it in to the lower temps, stir it good, then heat it up and it usually stays blended and clump free....good luck!!! 1 Aline728 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aline728 301 Posted July 17, 2013 @ Brenda thx....how much u out in eggs. The measurement is kinda confussing is what i saying...:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brenda0928 145 Posted July 18, 2013 Aline, with 1 scrambled egg, I only add about 1/4 to 1/2 scoop, a dash of milk and whisk it before cooking....too much powder and it becomes gritty...I have wasted a lot of food experimenting, LOL. how are you doing otherwise?? 1 Aline728 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nursesettie 85 Posted July 18, 2013 So is anyone else having relationship issues? Today I had a meeting at work. I get dressed up and do my hair and make up, like every day. I had to drop something off to my husband at his work and he said you look so good. I said thank you and he continued to complement me. I said thanks again and he said who let you out the house looking that good. I just rolled my eyes because he says that all the time. I tell him I had to go and kiss him good bye. I start to drive away and he acts like he is throwing a fishing line and reeling it back in. I look at him and I say what are you doing? He said your going fishing and I got mad. I told him that he is nuts. His insecurity from his prior relationship is rearing its ugly head. I have been a faithful wife for 22 years. I lost weight get a grip. I am still the same person just in smaller clothes. Really, I still weigh 250 lbs. What is going to happen when I get smaller? Anyone out there dealing with this please let me know. 1 Aline728 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah today is my birthday! My friends did tell me I looked good and three did call me sexy. My husband did say that to. I was wearing a skirt that is so big and a very loose shirt. I did not feel very sexy. I think my friends are very excited ab out my weight loss because they loved the old me in and outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nursebarbie 392 Posted July 19, 2013 I had been having a lot of nausea. Figured out I get nauseated and that is my "I'm hungry" signal. Mashed potatoes are a good stand by in between the Protein. I do oatmeal with a splash of lactaid milk 6gm protein with sprinkle of cinnamon for breakfeast. I do mashed potatoes with smashed toddler meat sticks or refried Beans with little grated extra sharp cheddar or poached egg over tiny bit of refried beans and a drizzle of taco sauce for a quasi huevos rancheros. I have not found one Protein Shake I can stomach. I keep trying new ones. Meanwhile I try to get as much protein from food sources and almost can get in all that Water.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
